"Play ethical dilemma" had me laughing before the game even started, so well done there.
And now it's come full circle to "rate this ethical dilemma", hah.
The text crawl opening was difficult to read. Theme6 blew my ears out. Then Harold started pontificating about the ethics of making money and my eyes glazed over a bit.
Then David arrived and I was instantly sold. I understood the premise inherently and the block caps delivery of the story was really funny. Also DON'T LOOK AT THE MENU INVESTMENT BANKER triggered in me a deep and apparently latent fear that I think will haunt me until the day I die. Especially as you can literally disable menu access without a single plugin.
The fact that I was forced to rewatch the whole text scrawl after getting the "lame and extremely boring ending" was kind of a pain. Feels like that could have been handled better. I opened the menu and laughed at the gags, but the inability to save to avoid the hefty punishment for failure was a little frustrating.
And then it ended. The game is a single choice. It's a funny choice and it's a neat little concept, but I fail to see how it particularly hit the criteria for the jam given that you don't see the island?
Either way, I laughed. For what it was it did it well, and that's kind of the thing I'm trying to grade these more esoteric games on. The art is just stock, the music is just stock, and I don't think I can give gameplay more than a one without abjectly lying, but overall this entry kind of nailed it?
3/5. A shitpost, but not a shit post.
